Shon Wilson raised in the cutoff and Mike Matusow three-bet on the button, which saw action fold back to Wilson, who four-bet, and Matusow called.

Limits: 8,000-16,000

Ismael Bojang was under the gun and had his last chips in the middle on the turn with the board showing 4♣4♦2♦2♥. Christopher Vitch in the big blind and Jacob Nepom on the button had him at risk.

The river was the 9♠ and Vitch bet. Nepom called and Vitch showed 10♣5♣4♥2♣ for a full house. Bojang could only show A♥J♥6♠4♠ for trips.

"Kill him, quickly so he can go play the next tournament," Vitch said to the dealer.

"Here, let me do it for you," he added, going into the dealer's tablet to personally bust Bojang from the tournament.

"I like Seat 1. I have all the power. Usually being in Seat 1 is the worst, but not this year."

Blinds: 4,000-8,000
Limits: 8,000-16,000

Randy McGregor raised on the button and in the big blind Michael Stones called.

The flop rolled out 9♣5♠7♦ and Stones check-called a bet from McGregor.

Both players checked the turn J♦ and Stones checked the river 5♣ and McGregor bet. Stones went into the tank for some time, looking at the short stack he had left, but eventually landed on call.

"Very good call sir," McGregor said as he tabled A♣K♣Q♠2♣ for just ace-high. Stone turned over A♦8♦5♥3♥ for trip fives and he took down the pot.
